Answer:

Since the measurement can't be negative the correct answer for this case would be 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the figure attached illustrate the situation.
For this case the we know that the original area given by:

And we know that the initial area is a half of the entire area in red
, so then:

And we know that the area for a rectangular pieces is the length multiplied by the width so we have this:

We multiply both terms using algebra and the distributive property and we got:

And we can rewrite the expression like this:

And we can solve this using the quadratic formula given by:

Where
if we replace we got:

And the two possible solutions are then:

Since the measurement can't be negative the correct answer for this case would be 
Answer:
3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is your function:

You're looking for f(-1). To get your answer, you have to replace all the x's with -1.
Here is your new equation:

Multiply 2 by -1

<em>Remember:</em>
MULTIPLYING
- Positive(+) times negative(-) is equal to negative
- Positive(+) times positive(+) is equal to positive
- Negative(-) times negative(-) is equal to positive
- Negative(-) times positive(+) is equal to negative
DIVIDING
- Positive(+) divided by positive(+) is equal to positive
- Positive(+) divided by negative(-) is equal to negative
- Negative(-) divided by positive(+) is equal to negative
- Negative(-) divided by negative(-0 is equal to positive
Since you're multiplying a negative number by a positive number, the answer will be negative.
Here is your new equation:

Add -2 and 2:

That means your answer is 0

Answer:
X =-3 I think
Step-by-step explanation:
Im not to sure giohg ohojhtjot
When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, you multiply the whole number by the numerator (top) of the fraction and you end up with an improper fraction. This question simply wants you to multiply the whole number by the numerator, then multiply that whole number by the remaining fraction.
= 4 * 2/6
multiply 4 by the numerator
=(4*2)/6
multiply 4*2 then separate from the remaining 1/6 fraction
=8 * 1/6
ANSWER: 8 * 1/6
Hope this helps! :)
